      People thought "The Incredibles" was exaggerated fiction. Yet @elonmusk is the real-world equivalent of a superhero, and this week he's being attacked for trying to help save children, by weak arguments that are obv. a thin wrapper over envious hate for the great. https://twitter.com/AndySwan/status/1016727913977319424 …

      Call me crazy, but given that the returns to entreprenerial greatness largely accrue to others (founders/inventors typically capture a few percent of value created), I want to live in a society where the successful are praised, not mocked.

      I also want to see mimetic desire harnessed to make more people strive for greatness (because they want to imitate those celebrated for success), rather than "inspiring" people to join in hyena mobs to take down the great in return for social status.

      Finally, I want to live in a society spiritually advanced enough that envy is rare. The envious like to think they act for justice; yet envy is a clear marker of low consciousness & self-worth, a state which rarely produces just action. Saints don't envy - let's be more sainted.

          Jealousy is one of the most productive initiators of action.

          I want envy to be rare, also. However, I'm not sure Musk is the best poster child for this. I have a coworker who was an early SpaceX employee. His take: Musk is a bad engineer and manager, but a great salesman.

          Might he also be a good idea guy? His products are rather unique. Tesla S exhilarating & futuristic. The jumping rockets brilliant. They engineers that work for him almost all worked somewhere else first, yet we see these ideas here alone. That must be due to more than sales
